24 Raptor R trombone exhaust

[TXCobra]

So confused on which way to go with exhaust on the R. I want deeper, louder exhaust without drone or too raspy, while quiet mode still functions reasonably well. I was thinking I may just go with the Ford EB tailpipes with no resonator but am reading that some folks say it is too raspy? Maybe just SPD downpipes is the sound I am looking for? Don't want it tremendously louder just a bit with the right tone. Nick@Apollo-Optics what say you? Any other opinions?​

I installed the tailpipes from a 2023 Raptor 3.5. i love the sound a lot. Quiet mode still works. But when its on sport and baja its super loud. To be this is how the V8 should sound. I dont think its really raspy

Thanks! That’s what I am probably going to try.

Trombone was added for cost cutting measures.

You have before and after audio?

Here just a quick cold start comparison. But you get an idea. With the 2022 Tailpipes, its sounds more „oldschool“, more strong, more loud and it sounds like more metall like (less damped).

Trombone sucks - makes it sound weird

The best exhaust is eco boost tailpipes on a non trombone setup

Having had both trombone and non trombone R’s, I can confirm trombone sounds much better.

Deleting 2 resonators in place of the trombone gets rid of the muffled/drone-like sound that makes the R exhaust not great.

**It may not be the trombone making the difference as much as deleting 2 of the 8 resonators.

I ended up going up with the Borla tailpipes only. About the same price as the ecoboost pipes but have the much nicer black chrome tips. Need to get some more road time (just installed last night), but really happy with the sound so far!
